Overall a great evening. Didn't know a Beatles cover band would be there, but they did a good job. Worth noting is the gross underuse of the fantastically talented LPO orchestra in most pieces. When not playing, many LPO musicians sat & stood with their arms folded, looking like they couldn't wait to get out of there. However this did not reduce the enjoyment much. I guess it would compare it to ordering a filet mignon with fresh crab meat topping and then wiping off the crab meat - just a shameful waste. The theater is perfect and every seat is excellent. The seats were really comfortable too. You can also bring beverages that you purchase there to your seats! A nice plus. I laughed, cried, got goose bumps and enjoyed the whole experience. There's a Led Zeppelin+LPO show at the MJ Theatre in May that I will probably also attend.

Favorite moment: The mindblowing strings by the LPO accompanying "Live & Let Die" and "A Day in the Life." @
